DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. (Feb. 21, 2014) – Junior Jesse Wood (Binghamton, N.Y. / Seton Catholic Central) scored a career-high seven goals and added two assists to tie his career mark of nine points in leading the Mercy College men's lacrosse team to a dominant season-opening 18-4 victory over Alderson Broaddus University on a cold and rainy Friday afternoon.

Mercy starts the season 1-0 for the fourth time in the program's five-year history while Alderson Broaddus begins the spring at 0-1.

Wood went to work early, scoring three goals and assisting on another in the first quarter and adding three more scores midway through the second period as the Mavericks took a commanding 8-0 lead into halftime. The veteran tallied his seventh goal just one minute into the third quarter before calling it a game.

Once Wood left the field, Alderson Broaddus fought back into the mix with a man-down goal at the 10:23 mark, but Mercy rattled off another six straight goals before the end of the third quarter, including three scores in the final 1:48. Both teams managed three more scores apiece in the final quarter, with the Battlers' final strike courtesy of a man-up opportunity.

Senior Mike Cashman (Bethpage, N.Y. / Bethpage) improved his career record to 8-1, making four saves against five shots on goal in 44:51 minutes in the cage. Sophomore Justin Seltzer (Closter, N.J. / Northern Valley Demarest) and freshman Joe Arcidiacono (Eastchester, N.Y. / Eastchester) made three combined saves in just over 15 minutes.

Head Coach Jordan Levine and the Mavericks will look to build on their victory as they host Ohio Valley University (0-3) on Sunday, Feb. 23 at 12:00 p.m.
